NoLIta

NOLITA. Once upon a time, these blocks of Mulberry, Mott and Elizabeth were essentially extensions of Little Italy, but today the area north of Broome has assumed an identity all its own. Gone are the days of the mom-n-pop grocery or neighborhood cobbler ­ these have been replaced by newer, hipper boutique shops. Indeed, if you’re looking for a unique, style-setting outfit that your friends’ll never find on a department store rack back home, NoLIta may just be the place to find it.
